Summary

The most comprehensive review of body-art ever assembled. throughout history people have adorned and customized the body. Polhemus' text looks at this phenomenon from an anthropological perspective while Randall's photographs touch all the bases - body painting, tattooing, piercing, corsets, scarring, hair, jewellery, masks, shoes - in graphic and dramatic style. A celebration of the most extraordinary, it also provokes us to think about the way we decorate, dress and adorn as we do.
